Short Flambeau Poems

Candle 
Spark in the dark 
burns clear, melts fear, brings cheer 
ready to die spreading the Light

Romanced muskiness-
night highlights insect flambeau	
signaling love’s code;	
amour pheromones broadcast,

Banana Flambeau,
is very fine fare.

of rebound passion
as a mere spark
to reignite
your imagination

i'd rather
be unlit
as a display
on dusty shelves
of old dreams...

Green trees, gray slopes, wide plains, deep lakes we trace,
These wholesale sights show wide view - they don't jade.
We see white fleece shade piles while haze veils brace:
Wheel ways, phone lines - those laid by roadwrights made....
